Smackdown Tourney, AFAX and more baseball

iMp taking part in the local HoN Smackdown tournament at Levelup Cybercafe!

Located at Sims Avenue, we actually got to see some familiar faces, competitors, admins or audience alike. Nostalgic i'd say...

Regardless, after plenty of intensive games, iMp manages to clinch the title!


Naturally, the prize money will go into the CPF(Capell's Provident Funds) for the team's future baseball usage.



Many thanks to Check and Nicholas for their presence, DivinePanda for playing 2 games as our sub, as well as Garena and LevelUp Cybercafe for holding this tourney!


Just a heads up, iMp, under my behest, will be attending the Anime Festival Asia 2010(AFAX). What is that you say?

I'll save us the trouble and paste this for your convenience...
“Anime Festival Asia is to us more than just a convention. It really is at the heart - an experiential platform. Countless time, energy and huge investments have been put in to plan and craft the experience of every single attendee who will be walking through the doors of the festival. To us, every bit of interaction with every part of the exclusive content we have for our attendees is really the result of months of careful planning by the committee. For AFA X, we are looking to create great value by providing the ultimate J-POP Culture experience for our attendees.”

So regardless if you're an otaku, anime, manga, anison, hentai, seiyu, bl, maid, doujin or baseball fan, do come join us!

Tips to identify us

If you see a group of people cosplaying as baseball players, you know that's us.

If you see someone playing catch, you know that's me.

If you see someone pitching, you know that's my BFF.



If you see us holding hands, you know we're a battery(couple). We're gonna win the regional cosplay championship for the team yeh! Girls(fujoshi) do vote for us yea!! (^.^)b

If you see someone dressing up as Ophelia(HON MASCOT OMG), you know that's our coach.

Anyways, located at suntec convention centre, it'll be held on the 13/14th of November 2010, admission isn't free but it isn't expensive either. 7 bucks for a regular ticket.

Catch ya people at the event, and as usual, stay tuned for more baseball HoN updates!

Interviews and lil tidbits

ヽ(´ー｀)ﾉ capellkun here presenting to you our much awaited interrogation section(interview really) about our weekly training @ colosseum, iluma.

We welcome our casts here today, our coach Check 囧, Impunity members jX, Bean, Ben, as well as myself. Joining us as our special guests today will be a staff of Colosseum, and the coach of Team Insanity for Blackshot.

Let's start off with jX-san, our captain in charge ever since Ric has been sent off to a remote island somewhere near Singapore for indoctrination.

(my turn soon yeh, but dont worry i'll remain as an otaku instead of a clubwhore(^-^)b)

What do you think of this place as a venue for your weekly training?

'great place, great standards, definitely nothing short of being the best LAN gaming center locally. The environment here is what i would call sublime; the ultimate gaming experience(you bet) .Hopefully we'll see more HoN teams playing here instead of Blackshot though（ ´,_ゝ`) haha! Actually, we are really honored that our training is held here, so lemme use this chance to give my thanks again to the management of Colosseum, and the people behind the scenes for making this possible.'

Next question is directed at Beanie,

'What do you think of our coach, Check-sama?'

(roleplay commences)

'Check-sama...if i were to describe, i'd akin him to a beacon of light, granting us divine illumination and enlightenment. Guiding us through the various obstacles and issues that stand by before us, he is truely the SunZi of gaming...

(ends roleplay)

on a more serious note, we're really thankful that he's dedicated to our cause. Behind every successful team is always a great coach, yep no doubts to that statement.

So....

'What does your team do usually after training?'

'we go home lar...' that is what Ben would like to say. Unfortunately for him he is being abducted for weekly kinokuniya trips after training. No exemptions, now that is what i would like to say....

'We usually hang around after training to have dinner and chat about random topics in random places ranging from rampant cockcoaches coffee shops(pun intended) to maid cafes'

(i prefer butler cafes actually, NAH JK)

'after that, at capellkun's behest, we shop the same places over and over again. Then i finally get to go home....Pretty sure they call this Deja Vu...'

(IF ONLY THIS IS NIPPON)


The curtain falls....NO HOLD ON. k my turn now.

'What would be the team's greatest disappointment thus far?'

'Thats a simple question. I would say....why is dreamhack not in nippon, why is DYA not in nippon omggmgomg?!?!?nippon....'

'What on earth are you talking about??!?!?!?!' - bewildered interviewers

'I want my baseball desu...baseball suki da yo!'

My dream to be a power pitcher....

Now before we delve further into this pool of baseball mess lets move on.......
